How are you and Grandma SIGG?
Splash and I had a good journey over from Switzerland, the journey wasn't too long and we remembered to have plenty of water to drink to help with our ears popping on the flight. We were driven to our new house and it was quite hot when we arrived. So we got to have a wash straight away to wash the dust off, and then we were topped up with lovely fresh water which we helped to keep cool for a long time.
Our new family have got a funny little person in the house that is called The Boy. He has become my new best friend and takes me everywhere with him. The Boy seems to really like me; he keeps flipping me open and shut because he thinks my green hat is funny, his mummy taught him how to turn my neck so that my hat sits properly and he is very careful not to spill any of my water now. His mummy is very fond of my big sister Splash, and takes her to a big building called school a couple of times a week. She is getting very clever, she helped me to write this letter Grandpa.
I'm having a marvellous time here in Wales. The Boy, his mummy and his daddy have taken us to lots of different places. One of the the places that they take us to quite regularly is called the beach. You and Grandma would love it there, it has lots of something called 'sand' which can be used to build a castle. The Boy is getting quite good at building them and he even let me help him the other day. I found the spade a bit tricky to use.
Grandpa, it was a beautiful beach but spoilt by some rubbish! Most of the rubbish that had missed the bins was plastic bottles. I think many of the 250,000 plastic bottles that are dumped every hour in the UK ended up on this beach! It's so silly to leave them on the beach, I saw one get swept away with the swishy water and I remembered what you taught me about the million sea animals that get killed each year! I hope someone picked it up. I'm shocked that this country is still using so many plastic bottles; haven't they heard of the SIGG family over here? I felt really sorry for the others, they only get used once and then thrown away. I don't like to think what happens to them once they've done their job once, they must feel so underused and dejected.
You wouldn't believe how dull they look as well, they obviously haven't had anyone pick out their clothes and dress them lovingly, like you and Grandma did with us. Splash and I felt so sorry for them that they don't have anyone to love them like The Boy and his mummy do with us. We could make their world a much better place by showing off the lovely colours and patterns on our coats!
The Boy was really kind and he even shared his potato rectangles with me. I quite like them, I hope he lets me have some again another time.
I must go to bed now Grandpa, it is getting passed my bedtime.
Lots of love
Your little Desert Fun!
DD3 has exactly that Sigg bottle, I must show her these photos. We are big Sigg fans in this household.
We are missing our Sigg Bottles after they were taken from a picnic site (yes someone took them)! I havent yet saved up enough to get four new ones and we used them all the time
That is terrible! I'm going to be running a competition shortly for a child's SIGG bottle. You should enter!
Took me a while to work out exactly what you were writing about, but once my brain caught up it was obvious! Very clever and looks like a brilliant product
A brilliant post, really well written. I love the SIGG bottles, will have to save up to get JW one! x
No you won't. Competition coming up soon!
I've never heard of these before. Sound really good though and look quite hard wearing.
Great post, AndMe, that really made me laugh and I want to find out more about these bottles. Job well done 😉
